Bug Description

When linking an application that uses libhiredis with the libev adapter on Ubuntu 20.04 it fails with
/usr/include/hiredis/adapters/libev.h:122: undefined reference to `hi_malloc(unsigned long)'

This was reported to the hiredis project back in February and has since been patched
https://github.com/redis/hiredis/issues/769

but the version available in the Ubuntu 20.04 repositories (libhiredis-dev 0.14.0-6) is from before it was fixed.

Two years on and this is still breaking our automated package builds for focal (bionic and jammy are both fine).
